Asked By:elle13ad4u in Mid Missouri, MO

Ok, this is my third post, my Sergeon is 5 hours away. And I have told him about my eye problems, etc. Dry eyes and blurry - he won't recommend any otc med's to help ease the dryness unless I go back to see him, which I can't at this time. Is there any otc med to help dry eye and keep them shut at night? I know its still swelling so can't close them but the dry eye is causing blurriness and affecting my daily activities. Thank you in advance.
